<DIV>There are, however, two changes that need to be made to the IANA registry
for this:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A. 'mo': </DIV>
<DIV>- deprecate and add preferred code "ro-Cyrl".<SPAN

<DIV><SPAN class=290101822-03112008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
don't think we can, nor should, do that. "mo" should be deprecated with the
preferred code "ro", so that both have the same type.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

section 3.1 of RFC 4646, page 21.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=290101822-03112008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><SPAN class=290101822-03112008> </SPAN>- add a comment that Romanian
as used in Moldavia ("ro-MD") is typically called "Moldovan" or "Moldavian"
and written in Cyrillic. It is thus generally equivalent in function to
"ro-Cyrl-MD".</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><SPAN class=290101822-03112008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
think we should simply add "Moldavian" as an alternate name for "ro". Perhaps a
comment that "when used in Moldavia sometimes written in the Cyrillic script"
along with "when used in Romania, it is written in the Latin
script".</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
